That's what I've heard but it should be up and running in another week or so...

What's wrong with your car or is just more mods?

Pretty sure strut mount went bad. Still haven't contacted Airlift yet. That said, I'm going back to non adjustable LCAs and UCA and getting a DSS carbon fiber driveshaft so I don't need to worry about adjusting the UCA for pinion angle. I'm hoping that will quell some of the rear end howl/whine and clunks from the drivetrain since the CF is supposed to be quieter than the aluminum shafts.

It snowed last night, and that made me glad the cars were tucked away for now.

Guess it's time to start ordering parts for the over-the-winter changes, whatever they might be.
Yep - I'm glad I cleaned mine and tucked her in a couple weeks ago now. I sure miss her, but am glad to have a break from her, as I focus on our new house. Speaking of which, no mods for me for a while - as our $$$ goes towards the house, plus the garage, and the lift, and all the other stuff that goes in it.

This week I'll be topping off the gas too and adding some fuel additive and then a long hibernation.
Yep - that's exactly what I did. It was a sad day.

Agree 100%. I too used to start her up. Then I fouled the plugs later that spring. Stopped doing it since... and voila.

Nothing today but last night I drove it in a snow storm. Mostly just icy rain. Snow came later.

I've been tempted to do that. Well, iced tea at least. I don't drink coffee.

I don't either. I don't drink tea anymore either. Used to drink a half gallon of sweet tea a day, but I only drink water now. Haven't had a Coke ( soft drink )in 12 years, and only have sweet tea a couple times a year (usually my aunt's at Christmas, hers is the best I've ever had).

I drove it!

It has been in the shop since October 5. I got it back on Wednesday just in time for Thanksgiving. The FRPP axle backs were messed up in the crash so now I am really loving the Borla Stingers. Much louder, but sounds fantastic.

Borlas are awesome. Now get some Kooks side pipes.

We had a rare DRY day today so I took mine out for a spin. Grabbed some licorice on the way and hit the country roads, stopping for a couple of pics.
